Section 1

SAFETY

3

F.

Wear goggles or a full face shield when adding

antifreeze compound to air line anti---icer systems.

G.

If air line anti---icer system antifreeze compound

enters the eyes or if fumes irritate the eyes, they

should be washed with large quantities of clean

water for 15 minutes. A physician, preferably an

eye specialist, should be contacted immediately.

H. DO NOT

store air line anti---icer system anti-

freeze compound in confined areas.

I.

The antifreeze compound used in air line anti-

freeze systems contains methanol and is toxic,

harmful, or fatal if swallowed. Avoid contact with the

skin or eyes and avoid breathing the fumes. If swal-

lowed, induce vomiting by administering a table-

spoon of salt, in each glass of clean, warm water

until vomit is clear, then administer two teaspoons

of baking soda in a glass of clean water. Have pa-

tient lay down and cover eyes to exclude light. Call

a physician immediately.

1.8 ELECTRICAL SHOCK

A.

This compressor should be installed and main-

tained in full compliance with all applicable Federal,

State and Local codes, standards and regulations,

including those of the National Electrical Code, and

also including those relative to equipment ground-

ing conductors, and only by personnel that are

trained, qualified and delegated to do so.

B.

Keep all parts of the body and any hand---held

tools or other conductive objects away from ex-

posed live parts of electrical system. Maintain dry

footing, stand on insulating surfaces and

DO NOT

contact any other portion of the compressor when

making adjustments or repairs to exposed live

parts of the electrical system. Make all such adjust-

ments or repairs with one hand only, so as to mini-

mize the possibility of creating a current path

through the heart.

C.

Attempt repairs in clean, dry and well lighted and

ventilated areas only.

D. DO NOT

leave the compressor unattended with

open electrical enclosures. If necessary to do so,

then disconnect, lock out and tag all power at

source so others will not inadvertently restore

power.

E.

Disconnect, lock out, and tag all power at source

prior to attempting repairs or adjustments to rotat-

ing machinery and prior to handling any un-

grounded conductors.

1.9 LIFTING

A.

If the compressor is provided with a lifting bail,

then lift by the bail provided. If no bail is provided,

then lift by sling. Compressors to be air lifted by

helicopter must not be supported by the lifting bail

but by slings instead. In any event, lift and/or han-

dle only in full compliance with OSHA standards 29

CFR 1910 subpart N.

B.

Inspect points of attachment for cracked welds

and for cracked, bent, corroded or otherwise de-

graded members and for loose bolts or nuts prior to

lifting.

C.

Make sure entire lifting, rigging and supporting

structure has been inspected, is in good condition

and has a rated capacity of at least the weight of

the compressor. If you are unsure of the weight,

then weigh compressor before lifting.

D.

Make sure lifting hook has a functional safety

latch or equivalent and is fully engaged and latched

on the bail or slings.

E.

Use guide ropes or equivalent to prevent twisting

or swinging of the compressor once it has been

lifted clear of the ground.

F. DO NOT

attempt to lift in high winds.

G.

Keep all personnel out from under and away

from the compressor whenever it is suspended.

H.

Lift compressor no higher than necessary.

I.

Keep lift operator in constant attendance when-

ever compressor is suspended.

J.

Set compressor down only on a level surface ca-

pable of safely supporting at least its weight and its

loading unit.

K.

When moving compressors by forklift truck, util-

ize fork pockets if provided. Otherwise, utilize pallet

if provided. If neither fork pockets or pallet are pro-

vided, then make sure compressor is secure and

well balanced on forks before attempting to raise or

transport it any significant distance.

L.

Make sure forklift truck forks are fully engaged

and tipped back prior to lifting or transporting the

compressor.

M.

Forklift no higher than necessary to clear obsta-

cles at floor level and transport and corner at mini-

mum practical speeds.

N.

Make sure pallet---mounted compressors are

firmly bolted or otherwise secured to the pallet prior

to attempting to forklift or transport them.

NEVER

attempt to forklift a compressor that is not secured

to its pallet, as uneven floors or sudden stops may

cause the compressor to tumble off, possibly caus-

ing serious injury or property damage in the proc-

ess.

O. DO NOT

use the lifting eye bolt on the compres-

sor motor, if supplied, to lift the entire compressor

package.
